I noticed most MUDS are exactly the same be they fantasy or futuristic or etc. I haven't played every single one though, so I may be wrong. I noticed, though, that there are always guilds, and that the main goal is either to dominate the guild, dominate the world, get the highest level, etc.
Well, one of my ideas is a WWI setting, or something like that. You could start as a medic, infantryman, ace, etc, etc. I'd like to have it leveless, and you'd get skills and exp in another fashion. Anyway, it'd start out in the mud and in the trenches. Something with no safe zones, no newbie towns. I don't think a MUD has ever covered the theme of constant warfare. Anyway, it'd have to involve lots of rping to make it interesting, I'd imagine, and have to have many things to do while say, a player is waiting for the command to go over the top or something like that.
Anyway, second idea would be to have a normal stereotypical MUD, guilds and all, but there'd be an option to be a wolf or another animal. As a wolf you could be killed by other wolves, by humans, by starvation, the elements, etc. You'd be weak and vunerable alone. But wolves would have the option to form packs which would make them formidable. The wolf who starts the pack would be the Alpha, the leader, and could choose how the other members are promoted, etc. Basically small player run guilds. They could also howl to advertise their pack, leave scent markings to other wolves, claim territory, defend that territory, hunt animals... Wolves could terrorize certain villages, too, if it suited them though they'd run the risk of being hunted down by the superior, if not as numerous, humans. There would be NPC wolves too that may join a pack, a sort of mob character, I guess.
...Not sure if that idea has already been done or what, or if it's even interesting, but I'd love to see something like that.
